The New North American Alliance: The United States, Mexico, Canada – The Continental Imperative SOLD OUT
Event Description
Tonight’s event is officially sold out, see you there!
Join us for an insightful evening with Ambassador Ken Salazar, a preeminent figure whose decades of public service span the highest levels of law, policy, and international relations. From his most recent role as United States Ambassador to Mexico (2021-2025), where he significantly strengthened the US-Mexico trade partnership and led critical efforts on border security and transnational crime, to his tenure as United States Secretary of the Interior (2009-2013), where he pioneered the “all of the above energy strategy” and dramatically expanded renewable energy development on public lands, Ambassador Salazar offers a truly unique perspective. He’ll draw on his experience as a U.S. Senator, Colorado Attorney General, and Senior Counsel at WilmerHale to discuss pressing topics—including energy, conservation, trade, and border policy—sharing the strategic thinking and bipartisan collaboration essential to navigating the nation’s most complex challenges. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from a leader who has shaped policy from the Rocky Mountains to the White House and across international borders.
